Hi everyone. I am new here and new in flashing ROM, I can say that im a noob right now and maybe a dumbwit because of what happened to my phone. I am here to start a new thread because I think I have a half-bricked phone after I have root my HTC One X+ following the instruction in HOX+ Tutorial for Unlocking, Rooting & installing a custom ROM [BEGINNERS FRIENDLY] thread in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910
Before I describe what happened I will list first some info on my HOX+ unit.

Before it got half-bricked, I can normally boot to my HOX+, installed SuperSU, can see SuperSu icon in phone when I browse my apps, I can go to TWRP 2.4.4.0 that I sucessfully installed, everything is working normal. My next step was to install a custom rom, I used ViperX3.7.0, have extracted the ViperX3.7.0.img and renamed it to boot.img then move it to platform-tool folder, i succesfully flash the boot.img and now has the customized boot.img, after that I reboot to recovery and install the viperx3.7.0.zip rom that I have copied to the root of my phone before I restart my phone. I did wipe the system. and install the viperx rom then reboott my phone. After reboot my phone I waited for more than 10minutes but I noticed that it was stuck in the "HTC quitely brilliant" screen. I reboot again and wait for more thatn 20minutes and still the same screen. I went to twrp recovery mode and restored my backup and after I reboot I still have the same result that is im stuck in the "HTC quitely brilliant" screen. I can charge my phone if I am in TWRP recovery menu but HTC MTP driver will nt load and will not recognise my phone.
I really need help please on how I will go next to restore it to a normal condition.

You tried to install a One X rom on your One X+? And you wonder why it does not work? You know there's a ViperX+ rom?
In order to get your backup working you have to flash the right kernel/boot.img. In case wou want to stay with stock rooted, you can try installing nik3r's stock kernel. If you want to install another rom, you have to do it via "adb sideload" command. You can find information about this in hasoon2000's tutorial in the HTC One X+ Genereal forum.

I'm sorry but I don't know that there is a ViperX+ rom. Is ViperX+ the best customized rom for HOX+ or you have another one that you can recommend. Is kernel and boot.img the same, sorry but I admit that im new and you can call me a noob for it. I would like to make my phone work again so any method will be greatly appreciated.

If you want a rom for your phone, you have to take one out of the One X+ forums, others (for One X) won't work. And whatever rom you chose, you have to install the correct boot.img, normally you can also find them on the first post of every rom thread.
I can't recommend ViperX+ because i never used it. But since you wanted to install the One X version, you should just try ViperX+ and see if you like it.
So what you have to do is:
- Download rom & boot.img
- flash boot.img in fastboot
- go to recovery and install rom using "adb sideload" (already told you where you can find the how to)
- reboot phone
be patient, first boot may take some minutes. you will know that everythings alright when you're not stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen

In my case, ViperX+ makes my phone a little bit hotter than others. However, it's the best rom for those who want to customize. I prefer Eleganica rom. Be sure that you choose the right rom for you phone. In your case it's Internation rom Elegancia 6.1. Just use sideload to flash. I'm sure that hasoon has posted the guide howto use sideload. Nothing to worry.

I used the HTC dev tool to unlock bootloader then I installed revoloution recovery and then took mikRunny ROM for gsm and flashed it revo recovery . Rebooted and it stayed on the HTC white screen , I didn't read the change log and notice there was a post on page 4 that said replace Boot.img in kernal shootru with Boot.7z but I did not realize it was a 7zip file . So I just put the boot.7z in retryed still didn't work I read a post the next page sense I had s-on to flash through fast boot so I tryed flashing through flash boot with this command (fast boot flash boot boot.7z) it didn't work so I was like hmm I renamed the 7zip file not realizing it was one at the time . So I renamed the file boot.7z to boot.img and flashed it with fastboot and rebooted phone and all did was go to the white HTC screen and keeps rebooting .
Well I made a back up right after I used HTC dev tool and installed a recovery . Thinking I was ok I could just wipe and flash my backup it be fine. Well I restored back up and it still stays on white HTC screen and reboots .
So I know its not bricked because I can get into recovery . So I am asking for someone's help to help me just get the phone back to normal .
Thanks. I hope I explained this good enough for you guys .

You are correct, the phone is not bricked. I see you are in the US, why did you flash a GSM rom? You need to flash a CDMA rom. Also, you have to flash kernel separately if using HTC unlock method.

As for the rom, choose what you like from the CDMA forum. I'm partial to my own rom, steelrom.

That link you gave me how to flash any rom will do no good if i can not even get past the white HTC Screen
Lol I feel such a idiot trying to get GSM on a CMDA phone now
I think Steel is the one i am downloading right now sense MikMik website is down
I'm still new to the 3D so take this with a grain of salt.
You may need to flash the stock RUU (rom update utility) which if your sprint/cdma (codename "shooter" not "shooterU") the zip version can be loaded automatically by Hboot when it starts. You rename the zip to exactly " PG86IMG.zip " and put on the root of sdcard, boot to hboot/bootloader and let it do its thing. You wont be able to do the .exe version from windows if the phone wont boot to android (I think).
Not sure what version you had on the phone prior, but here's the link to get it:
(XDA) Football's [ROM]Shooter CDMA Shipped ROM Collection (original RUU's & 651.5 too!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334473
There is more info spread out in that thread, but that's the basics. Scrosler's has some additional info here (couldn't find a similar post at xda):

Just read thru some of it and see if it will help. If you can't get anything else done thru recovery, you might have to try to go full stock. Someone may confirm this for you.

if your hboot is 1.40 - there is no stock ROM available.
You need to sideload some other custom ROM.

What is your hboot version?
I hope you have Android SDK installed and running in your system?
I guess I have just run into the same issue. I wasn't able to find any help in the "Device Essentials" thread, unfortunately.
I have no rom. ADB doesnt work when phone is in bootloader or recovery (twrp 2.6.3.0) and I can't mount the usb storage to get the rom onto my phone. I miss the days of my samsung captivate....It was so easy!! Thanks for reading.
I guess the key point here is that I can't sideload anything because adb isnt working in recovery. My hboot is 1.40.

Which version do you have ATT-Telus or International?
Did you try one of the toolkits like Windroid or Hasoons Toolkit. I would use Hasoon2000's first to return device to stock condition, and then try Windroid if that does not work.

did you try and install supersu just for the hell of it?? You may want to install stock recovery, then re-lock bootloader, and then use RUU. This almost always get your device back to stock.:good:

Im also on HBOOT 1.4 I believe you need this RUU.
I am going to revert to stock to make sure you can use this. Please just make sure what cid # you have. It should be CWS_001 for ATT Branded.(like mine )
edit: RUU ran fine with HBOOT 1.40

You need to have this stock recovery installed. then relock bootloader, and then run this RUU
this should fix it. if that RUU does not work, try the link to the RUU I gave for parkerdjohnson
Thanks
thanks so much for the links my brother, I am downloading the RUU links but the stock recovery link doesnt work. do you have another one? or I have the all in one tool kit, do I have the chance to go back to stock recovery by using this toolkit?

i attached a .zip file with the recovery inside. THIS IS NOT FLASHABLE! You need to flash from fastboot or with an All in one.
edit:
I uploaded the wrong file :banghead: I will try to find the right one. Sorry
Edit 2:
found the file and uploaded.
I Have an Htc one X+ of coarse, and recently rooted it for the first time. After finding my way through that process fairly easily, I decided to try to flash a custom rom (Android Revolution HD 8.0). However I didn't put the necessary zip file in the internal storage before putting the phone in fastboot and flashing the new boot image. After that my phone entered bootloop or atleast i think its a bootloop. It basically just shows the htc quietly brilliant splash screen and sits there till i try to turn it off and then it goes off and then turns itself back on and repeats. However I can get it to fastboot and in to trwp recovery. So I have no back up of my original boot.img soo i just googled factory JB boot.img 4.1.1 and flashed that and cleared both caches and rebooted through twrp. Still bootlooped, so while reading on these froums i read that i should do a wipe of everything i did that so now i have no os at the moment. But after reading a post about a similar problem had by a galaxy user they flashed there there new custom rom boot.img and used adb to push the .zip file to internal storage however when i tryed to use the same command text they used it simply said device not found. so I'm at a loss for what to try next. I'm very Sorry for the long post but, any help at all would be appreciated.
P.S: Sorry for not being smart enough to find the answer on my on, thanks for your help in advance.
The boot.img you googled? Was it even for the HOX+ or just any JB boot.img?? You should be careful flashing any old boot.img could lead to corruption of the boot partition...
Anyway just for info sake, this isnt a bootloop, your device just isnt booting. There are two things you can do in this situation....
1) look in the android dev section for a stockish 4.1.1 rom. You just need one from a rom that isn't heavily modded like insertcoin or viper. You could also grab one of the custom sense kernels from the original android dev section..
2) You could flash the kernel you did originally, then boot into recovery and sideload the right rom to your device.

The boot.img you googled? Was it even for the HOX+ or just any JB boot.img?? You should be careful flashing any old boot.img could lead to corruption of the boot partition...
Anyway just for info sake, this isnt a bootloop, your device just isnt booting. There are two things you can do in this situation....
1) look in the android dev section for a stockish 4.1.1 rom. You just need one from a rom that isn't heavily modded like insertcoin or viper. You could also grab one of the custom sense kernels from the original android dev section..
2) You could flash the kernel you did originally, then boot into recovery and sideload the right rom to your device.

Thanks very much for the info and help I hope i didn't corrupt it. and I've never flashed a kernel before but Im sure i can find a tutorial. as long as I dont have to put any thing on internal memory sounds good to me. I guess sense I didn't have a kernal (atleast that i know of) the first time i guess i'll try 1. srry 4 being a noob btw.
EDIT: can i flash a rom from the computer without it being in internal storage?

Try booting the boot.img file manually from the ROM you downloaded (find it inside the zip)
you can do that by the fastboot method using your PC
Do this when you enter the bootloader menu.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Sorry just to clarify. A kernel and a boot.img are the same thing. Depending on your hboot version and CID. There may be an RUU you can run from your PC to install stock firmware.
You can get your hboot version on your bootloader screen, and get your CID by using the fastboot command "fastboot getvar cid".
If we knew those maybe we could help finding the correct RUU (if there is one).

If you are trying to flash a custom ROM, then you could just sideload. TWRP (and some other recoveries) supports a process called sideload for when you forget to copy your ROM zip onto the internal storage - since phones like the HOX+ dont have a micro-SD slot for removable storage. Just google for sideload - plenty of tutorials.
The custom ROM zip will also contain the appropriate boot.img, so after flashing the ROM, all you then need to do is flash the boot.img. Hopefully all should be well then.

cid: CWS_001
HBOOT: 1.32.0000
Also I'd like to mention I've tired to push a file to my storage using fastboot and adb, but adb didnt recognize my device was there, although i haven't tired running trwp and the sideloading method yet so i guess I'll try that next.
EDIT: ok I managed to sideload the custom Android Revolution HD custom rom and it flashed it as soon as it was loaded to the phone however after flashing it. it just continued to say I had no os. does this mean like you mentioned be4 that my boot thing is corrupted?

The boot image and zip folder were separate I loaded the boot image manually be4 flashing the rom through side loading. and also I reloaded the boot.img after it regestered no os after flashing but it still registers as no OS so If the boot.img is loaded i should have an os according to twrp right?
also I took the SIM card out and put it in a backup phone for now that wouldn't be a problem correct? thanks again for all the advice.

Are you definitely not trying to flash international roms? Because the CWS CID is AT&T right? Maybe you should just flash an RUU. I don't know if there are any for the AT&T version. Maybe one of the American members can help..

In Twrp it says there is no OS installed. right before reboot. even tho I loaded a boot.img and sideloaded a zip and flashed it. after flashing and every thing it still says no OS installed. but i went ahead and rebooted it anyway but it just sits at the HTC quietly brillant screen.
Thanks for the advice about the factory restore i didnt do it right be4 installing maybe i'll try that.
1. I notice that you say you flashed Android Revolution. afaik, that ROM is for the International version, not for AT&T. Have you checked you are using an appropriate ROM?
2. I am assuming you did the sideload procedure correctly? Did the ROM installation start after it finished copying over the ROM to the phone?

Hello fellow Android users,
I am here to ask for your help.
Just to be clear, my phone is an HTC Desire 601 locked with FIDO, use to have Android 4.4.2, Zara_UL, Unlocked bootloader, S-ON and no OS installed.
My HTC Desire 601 has had a rough week.
Everything went well for unlocking the bootloader, rooting, installing new recovery.
Then I wanted to go S-OFF, but Firewater told me the current kernel was blocking the exploit.
So I decided to flash KofilaKernel for my device and try again. The install went well,
only problem was I wiped my cache and system and now, NO MORE OS INSTALLED and still S-ON.
Couldn't use Firewater anymore...
So I tried installing custom ROM and also tried going back to stock, miserably failing.
A. I tried flashing InsertCoin custom ROM wich failed because of S-ON (forgive noobishness)
B. I tried using "fastboot boot" command that made possible flashing custom ROM with S-ON.
I was counting on this one, but had problems too : Most recoveries wouldn't boot (ClockWorkMod several versions, TWRP several versions) except one TWRP recovery wich booted, but the touch screen WAS NOT ACTIVATED. Tried using side buttons with no luck, and power button just locked the screen. I have heard that Google has changed the fastboot boot for newer android versions and that you had to add something to the command like :
"fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img"
This example is for Nexus 4 I think, but I don't know the one for Desire 601... I tried it and it wouldn't boot.
C. I have tried "fastboot flash system system.img" with stock image. Had an error saying not enough memory available.
I wiped everything with TWRP and with CLCKWRKMOD : System, cache, dalvik cache, etc... tried again to flash system with no luck.
D. I have tried the Telus RUU.exe file. Told me I had the wrong RUU for my phone and to find the right one, wich doesn't exist for Android 4.4.2 as far as I know.
E. I have tried flashing several versions of 4EXT recovery to get SmartFlash, but it is not compatible with HTC Desire 601.
There I am.
Please help a brother with unusable new phone LOL.
Thanks a bunch for any help.

I'd just reinstall a rom based off of your current firmware and then you need to copy the boot.img out of it and flash in bootloader. The command you'll want to use is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Be cautious trying to run KK roms on JB firmware as you'll have issues with the radio and touch, bare minimum. Only ways to update firmware are via being S-Off and doing a firmware update of just the essentials or find a KK RUU for your phone, if it is available.

Correct, you can install a rom while S-On, as long as you install the boot.img separately. You can install a rom based off of stock, but you won't be able to do the official RUU type rom from it unless there is an RUU zip for your phone (some HTCs have this, but most are just via an exe of a PC) but that would actually go through the bootloader instead of recovery.

Ok great !
So I have access to a stock ROM apparently. I can't post links yet, but if you look up on Google "htcdesire 601 stock rom" you will find a google docs page with the stock ROM for desire 601 4.4.2.
Would you be king enough to walk me through the steps to achieve this ? There are many .img files in this folder and I am far from an expert.
Thanks again.
black-venomzz
I did :
1. Copy whole .zip file on sd card found when searched "htc desire 601 stock rom" on google in google docs pasge (can't post link yet).
2. Install .zip with TWRP.
- Failed (still bootloop) -
The tried :
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img was found in the .zip file)
2. Copy whole .zip file on sd card
3. Install .zip with TWRP
- Failed (still bootloop) -
I'm probably missing something here...
You might not have the correct zip for your variant of 610. They make a few and could depend on the carrier as well. Should also factory reset in TWRP.

Couldn't find that page, even after taking out the asteriks. But you'll need to boot to the bootloader and run this command:
fastboot getvar all
to find out your exact model/region/carrier/etc.

Ok, I think we might be on the right track now...
According to the read out from getvar, you were on 4.2.2. It's also listed as a Rogers phone (I'm assuming there's a direct connection between Fido and Rogers, though being an American, I'm not 100% up to date with Canadian carriers...) so I found the RUU for 4.2.2 (system 1.10.631.8 which you can see in the getvar list) http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P510 (it won't let me do a direct link for some reason) and pick the Rogers one for 1.10.631.8
This should get you back up and running.
Make sure to relock the bootloader before you run it or it'll fail. You can re-unlock afterwards. Should be able to do "fastboot oem lock" then when ready to unlock again then "fastboot oem unlock" should work since you've already used the bootloader key.

Your a life saver thanks !
I'll make sure to relock.
The only thing is I have no clue how to use this RUU. It's not like a ".exe" that you execute.
The .zip file contains a .tar.gz file, wich contains another .tar file, wich contains binaries I believe.
The readme.txt file talks about using Linux commands but I'm far from an expert.
I'll do a little research on my own since you helped me a lot already, but if you have any tips feel free to share !
Thanks again,

BTW for information purposes,
Fido is indeed a subsidiary brand of Rogers.

****e. How do people build RUU.exe in the first place ? Can't we build one with these binary files ?
Edit : Did some reading and found out only vendors can make RUU's.
Tried this, found on another thread.
"The RUU is your normal, executable program and does everything for you. The ZIP is an RUU but you have to set the phone up to flash it by using fastboot commands. the process is:
1. Connect phone in fastboot mode
2. Run the command 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'
3. Once the phone is at the HTC screen, you run the command 'fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip'
4. It will flash the first part and then give an error and you run the same command as above a second time straight away
5. Once the second flash sequence has finished, you the type 'fastboot reboot' and it will reboot the phone and finish the installation"
It failed, but I didn't relock bootloader yet. Will try that now.
Edit : Also failed with relocked bootloader.
Fastboot error message was :
"(bootloader) signature checking
FAILED (remote : 12 signature verify fail)"

You can flash RUUs like that, but that zip does not house the files you would need. RUUs have to be signed with HTC's special key or it won't work. That's why it was only a 99MB file...

Thanks for looking around. Unfortunately the RUU failed (see picture).
I think my phone was updated with Android 4.4.2 when I bought it (recently) so it might be what's causing the error.
I wanted to try with a Telus RUU for 4.4.2 but it's not there..........

HTC Rezound Liquidsmooth 3.2 ROM install failure
I used this link (theunlockr.com/2013/10/22/how-to-root-the-htc-rezound/) on my stock HTC Verizon Rezound to unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP, and SuperSU to gain access to root.
Then I downloaded LiquidSmooth 3.2 11/5/14 R2 -- Android 4.4.4 and Gapps 4.4.4 Build 8.1 (not Build 7 on this site) I used TWRP to flash both files in the same flash event to the phone. I had placed the files on the INTERNAL SD in the DOWNLOAD directory. Wiped before and after the flash. Phone came up to HTC screen, Blinked, and returned to HTC screen. Waited 10 minutes or so and had to pull battery . Tried another boot with same results. Restored. Repeated same results.
Downloaded the LS v3.2 file again. Downloaded an md5 checker program to my computer. Both files passed. Repeated using second v3.2 file with same results. Downloaded the 8/21/2014 version of the file, md5 checked it, and repeated with same results.
Then downloaded the final LS v2.9 JB4.2.2 file and the appropriate GAPPS file and md5ed it. Repeated with same results.
I am now back to my rooted but stock ROM. I would like to get this LS v3.2 KitKat ROM installed, but am at my wits end.
I also used this link (android.wonderhowto.com/how-to/ultimate-guide-using-twrp-only-custom-recovery-youll-ever-need-0156006/) to troubleshoot. That is why I did a wipe in advance of the first install attempt and I think most of the others as well, although I couldn't tell it helped. I tried the Fix Permissions hint several times but it failed each time.
The only think I have ever read about on HTC phones is S-On or S-Off, but I don't think this applies as neither link source I referred to mentioned S-ON.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
When you are S-ON you have to manually flash the boot.img via Fastboot after flashing the ROM image in recovery... or boot recovery with fastboot not from the phone... in order to boot successfully. When an HTC device is S-ON, the boot partition is write protected from recovery if it is booted from the phone.
Thanks a Million or perhaps 10 million!!!

When you are S-ON you have to manually flash the boot.img via Fastboot after flashing the ROM image in recovery... or boot recovery with fastboot not from the phone... in order to boot successfully. When an HTC device is S-ON, the boot partition is write protected from recovery if it is booted from the phone.

I'll not bore you with the details, but I just now found you had replied to my question. I refreshed myself on fastboot (I used it in the unlock process a few days back), extracted the boot.img file, and flashed it.
Guess What? It worked.
Thanks a lot. I do think it would be great if people would include a brief statement on HTC ROM installation Instructions, "If you are not S-OFF you must use fastboot to flash the boot.img file (extract from ROM zip) after flashing the ROM. If you do not know what that means, Google it!"
BTW, if for some reason I every wanted to go back to my stock ROM, I assume that I would have to do the same thing (Flash ROM following by Fastboot Flash boot.img file) after restoring or would my Nandroid backup work? I doubt it would for the same reason. It will be hard to find that file (unless it is contained in the backup) since the ROM was by OTA programming.
Thanks again,
Terry

Most general tutorials on flashing ROMs on HTC devices includes this information, although most devs will say their ROMs are for S-OFF devices only, it is assumed with a little fastboot trickery most ROMs will work fine, but devs usually make the assumption you know what you are doing.
I would HIGHLY recommend you go S-OFF... if something catastrophic happens and you are S-ON there is often no method of recovery, since all current RUU (HTC's proprietary ROM restoration image) files are prior to current, so do downgrade and restore to stock you must be S-OFF. Rumrunner makes the S-OFF process pretty painless if you are on a custom ROM already.
The boot image, or more accurately the /boot partition, cannot be written to under normal recovery well S-ON, so that affects a nandroid restore as well, you would have to extract the boot image and flash it manually as well to restore a nandroid. BUT, if you boot the recovery image via fastboot it gets around the /boot write restriction even when S-ON... this is a key difference, essentially you are taking the recovery image and telling the phone "this is your new kernel, start it like a ROM" which gets around some of the S-ON restrictions.

Assuming you are on current Hboot & radios, upgrade to latest TWRP, flash ROM ZIP and Gapps, fastboot flash boot.img, then reboot and enjoy.
